THE KAISER AND BISMARCK.
An Appeal That the Man of Blood and
Iron Received Ungraciously.
London, Feb. 19. It is stated in a dis
patch from Berlin that the kaiser, desir
ous of sparing the feelings of Bismarck,
requested Duke Ernest, of Saxe-Coburg,
at the time that the opera of that prince
was produced in Hamburg, to take the op
portunity of visiting Bismarck, and re
monstrating with him on his course in
talking over affairs of state, and attacking
tne Kaiser ana his policy. The presence
of Duke Ernest in Hamburg was supposed
at the time 1 1 be connected with the pro
duction or his opera, and bis visit to Bis
marck attracted no attention,
A Respectful Request Made.
The visit, however, was of a most im
portant character. Prince Ernest is said
to have rear -sted Bismarck respectfully.
in behalf not of the kaiser alone but of
the imperial family, not to publish to the
world secrets of that family which be
came known to him in his confidential re
lations as chancellor, and also to with-
nom rrom discussing affairs of state from
the standpoint of his special knowledge as
chancellor of the empire. Duke Ernest
carried no menace, except insofar, he id

the threatened damage by tne Hessian fly
has been averted. He said that there have
been excellent conditions that are not pe
culiar to any part of the state, but they

We'll write it down
till
everybody sees it
Till everybody is sick of
seeing it
Till everybody knows it
without seeing it
that Dr. Sage's Catarrh Rem
edy cures the worst cases of
chronic catarrh in the head,
catarrhal headache, and " cold
in the head."
In perfect faith, its makers,
the World's Dispensary Med
ical Association of Buffalo,
N. Y., offers to pay $500 to
any one suffering from chronic
catarrh in the head whom
they cannot cure.
Now if the conditions were
reversed if they asked you to
pay $500 for a positive cure
you might hesitate. Here are
reputable men, with years of
honorable dealing; thousands
of dollars and a great name
back of them and they say
We can cure you because
weve cured thousands like
vou if we can't we'll nav
you $500 for the knowledge
that there s one whom we
can't cure."
They believe in themselves.
Isn't it worth a trial? Isn't
any trial preferable to catarrh?
